WORLD`S LARGEST WOMEN`S SHOE DEPARTMENT OPENS IN LONDON
Baku, September 24 (AZERTAC). The Shoe Gallery opened at London department store Selfridges Thursday, setting a new record for the biggest surface dedicated to footwear, and for the largest number of shoes found in one place, according to the store.
More than 5,000 different pairs of shoes are displayed across 35,000 square meters, while more than 100,000 others are kept in stock.
"We are more than doubling the size of the women`s shoes space, so we expect sales that would be in line with that fact," Selfridges` PR manager Bruno Barba told CNN.
According to a 2009 report from market research company Key Note, the value of the footwear market in Britain reached a record high of just over £7 billion ($11 billion) in 2008.
